a. The Extended Source Processor

Table 1. XSC Parameters

The XSC contains over 300 columns of information per source, most of which is photometric data. The columns are described in the subtables below. We have separated the columns according to their basic function and utility.

i. Name and Position Information

Parameter Name View Format Units Description
jdate L 13.4f jdate Julian Date.
Position Information
designation S 17s - source designation formed from sexigesimal coordinates.
This is the object sequence designation, or object "name" as specified by the IAU recommendations on source nomenclature. It is derived from the J2000 sexigesimal coordinates of the source and has the form HHMMSSSS+/-DDMMSSS, where HH are the hours of right ascension, MM the RA minutes and SSS are the deci-seconds of RA. DD are the degrees in declination, MM are DEC minutes and SS the declination seconds. Note that both the RA deci-seconds of time and DEC seconds of arc are truncated rather than rounded, per the IAU recommendation.
ra S 10.6f deg right ascension (J2000 decimal deg) based on peak pixel.
dec S 10.6f deg declination (J2000 decimal deg) based on peak pixel.

iv. Miscellaneous Photometry and Characterization Measures
Parameter Name View Format Units Description

-2 = unknown
-1 = no verification (i.e., not examined)
1 = galaxy
2 = non-extended (e.g., star, double, triple, artifact)
cc_flg S 1s - indicates artifact contamination and/or confusion.
The contamination/confusion flag indicates whether the source's photometry and position may be affected by artifacts of, or confusion with, nearby bright stars. The flag consists of a single character string. Sources are tested for contamination and/or confusion in the order given below, and once a flag is applied to the source, testing is stopped in that band. The flag values indicate the source may be:
U: unreliable source; probable image artifact detection
C: affected by confusion with or artifact of a nearby bright star
A or a: known artifacts
z: in close promity to a large galaxy; these sources are usually junk
Z: Derived from the Large Galaxy Atlas
0: default value -- not contaminated
